She is okay, she can explain things a bit quickly, but if you ask her questions she will be more than happy to answer them. She gives out a lot of clicker questions and the study guide is very helpful

Comment:
Her teaching style is a double edge (and her sass doesn't help): she supplies you all the tools & material you need to pass, but holy heck is there a lot of it. Stay up to task with the question banks or you will regret it! Also, she expects you to come to class prepared to answer 30sec timed clicker questions on material she hasn't taught yet.

Wonderful professor. Has a clear passion for genetics and makes the class interesting. Do the readings, do the question banks, go to lecture and study. She gives you everything you need to get an A, just put in the work. Would definitely recommend taking Genetics with her.

Absolutely terrible, remarks in class that she doesn't want to have to be teaching this class and it is more than evident in the lack of help she gives her students. I would say avoid at all costs but unfortunately she is the only professor "teaching" genetics 320.

I didnt like her at all. Not approachable. She tricked us on the exam and didn't use and word bank questions because she said she believed we were smarter than other classes.

Really interesting class! The professor covered many great and important topics that she is an expert on. I learned a huge amount of genetics and the class made me excited to learn more. The professor did a great job at every lecture.

Her portion of the material is not as difficult as the second half of the semester but it is alot to cover, so it seems like a lot to handle. Keep up with your readings and QUestion banks. They are very useful. She is a very good teacher overall.

She is very enthusiastic and much easier to understand than Professor Kernan (the second professor of the course). The material is a bit dry and sometimes hard to pay attention to, but she does a good job explaining it, and her questions are fair.

Overall a very good professor her lectures helpful even though some of the material is hard. as others have said make sure to do well on hers because kernan teaches the hard stuff that is much more complicated. make sure you study the question banks all her questions are all from there!

StudyBank questions=Her exams.Know them all, and review her Powerpoint and your notes=A on her test.Good Lecturer, funny, and you will learn much.You MUST do well on her Exam, Kernan is like the Anti-Christ,so u need that grade as a cushion!!!. From what I've heard, I she teachs the WHOLE summer session, no Kernan. Do that if you can!!!!

This is a REALLY hard class. Do not overload on science courses while taking this class. This class requires a lot of your time. The lectures are not much help on exams but the question banks are for her but not so much with Kernan. Be prepare to read and learn a lot. A very hard class so don't take it unless it's neccessary.

Ok,its true are lectures are a bit hectic, but she DOESNT really test you on lectures! Its the Question Banks. Study them, ask help about them, and you cant not get an A on the test. Trust me, your gonna need a very high score on that first Exam, because Kernan is MUCH harder, much less comprehensible. Overall hollingsworth is excellent

She's a cool teacher. Lectures can be boring at times, but thats cuz she's a little fast and everyones busy writing notes... no time to talk! But still, she explains everything very well, and is VERY helpful during office hours. She even has a whiteboard on the wall in her office. And shes nice too.

She's very intelligent and knows what she's talking about, however, she confuses students because she seems frazzled and disorganized. Constant interruptions. Aside from that, she makes great examples to help students understand important concepts.

She is a good teacher and her lectures are interesting, however, she rushes through them and is always seems a bit unsure and frazzled, but overall, she is about 10 billion times easier to follow than Kernan!!!

Many of her examples help explain difficult genetics concepts. Unfortunately, she rushes through the examples and presents them haphazardly.

Prof. Hollingsworth definately knew her material, however, I found it VERY difficult to follow her in class. She was confusing.
